ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

For as along as anyone in our city can remember, people from Dubuque have referred to themselves as “Dubuquers.” The term is deeply embedded in our community and our language. At times, it has also been used to draw a line between insiders and outsiders.

To be a Dubuquer is a good thing. As our city changes and grows, it is time to expand our imagination about what it means to be a Dubuquer. Instead of using this word to draw a line, let’s expand the circle and open our hearts to all who call Dubuque home.
